Yesterday morning I was stuck at the office and bored out of my mind. The internet seemed to be completely dead. Nothing going on with Facebook or Twitter and my RSS Feed contained a handful of updates, all of which I cared nothing about. With my morning break quickly coming to a close, I wanted to do something productive. I grabbed a scratch pad and decided to jot down some post ideas. Maybe one less inspiring idea would lead the …

Innuendo aside (admit it, I made you think of ‘The D’), I really miss competitive shooting. It has been a long summer and I am long overdue for putting some lead down range. Between my wife’s intense schedule, our recent move, and all of the other craziness that life has thrown at us, I haven’t been out to the range since the end of May. I’ve missed so much in such a short time. Thanks to Facebook and YouTube, I’ve …

Practical Shooting is a lot of fun. You get to run around, shooting at targets, while competing to see who can be both fast and accurate. There is a place in the sport for all skill levels and it makes for an enjoyable day on the range.

I promptly finished up the video and uploaded it to YouTube, however, it completely slipped my mind …

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been shooting as much USPSA as my schedule allows. Aside from being rusty from a winter filled with everything but gun handling, it has become abundantly clear that I need to start a dry-fire regiment. Last night I loaded up Ben Stoeger’s Dry-Fire Book (The first one – I haven’t purchased the second one yet) and picked out a drill to get started. I wound up going with Single Target Gun Handling and …

Last week I came across Max Michel’s Shot Coach App in the iTunes App Store. I payed the $4.99 and began playing with the app on my iPad. It didn’t take long to get the hang of the app and I was producing videos in no time. Since the Results for the Lower Providence USPSA Match aren’t available yet (the match was only yesterday), I went ahead and produced a video with Max Michel’s Shot Coach App and my Pivothead …
